== Rules & Guidelines ==
Any of these rules may be changed to suit a particular prompt. These are just general guidelines and care should always be taken to read the individual prompt's rules.
=== General Rules ===
# Only Mothcats members are allowed to participate. (All members automatically agree to our Species Terms and Conditions.)
# Members do not need to own a Mothcat to participate.
# Both admins and members can participate.
=== Community Garden Guidelines ===# Participants may take on the community prompt and one personal prompt per month cycle (beginning on the fifth first of each month.)## Participants may complete challenges which extend past the 15th of the following monthmonthly rollover. However, they may not take on a new challenge of that type until they complete their existing one.# Participants may begin on either the day they register or the following day. The challenge is considered begun once the first entry is posted, or failing that, on the day following registration.
# Entries for each (community and personal) prompt must be unique between them-- that is, you can't use the same entry for both.
## Entries may, however, be used for other activities, such as [[quests]].
== How to Participate ==
# Read the [https://mothkitten.deviantartmothcats.com/journalinfo/Community-Garden-Improvement-Bingo-740578884 bingo Community Garden] journalinformation, and check the month's community prompt and/or consider a personal prompt, as well as your desired challenge duration for either or both.

# Register your challenge at the appropriate hub.
# Carry out the relevant activity daily for 9, 16, or 25 days depending on your selected difficulty. '''You do not need to wait for approval to begin.!'''# Submit your completed prompt log at the Community Garden journalon Mothcats.com.
# Wait for a market runner to approve your completed log and award you points.
# (Optional) Purchase rewards using your points at the [https://stamothcats.shcom/0pxmlctn3mp Prize Shop].# (Optional) Update your bank according to the [[Managing User Banks#shops/1 Community Garden|procedure here]Store].
== Prompts and You ==

'''Community Prompts''' will often have participants make something in a creative fashion. (This is, after all, part of an ARPG, though the products need not be Mothcats-associated.)
* (and much, much more.)
== Maple's Shop the Community Garden Store ==The prize shop Community Garden Store contains the various goods participants may purchase with earned points.
There are three kinds of stock:
* '''General stock''', which is always present.
* '''Seasonal stock''', which rotates with the seasons. The next seasonal rotation is listed in the community garden journal.
* '''Monthly stock''', which rotates on the 15th 1st of each month along with the community prompt.
The monthy ''or'' seasonal stocks will frequently contain some manner of special prize(s). Occasionally, these may be very special indeed!
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
Worry not! Operate on your own time zone. If there's a concern about one or more entries, the market runner responsible for checking your submitted log will ask about it first, so you have a chance to clear things up.
